Barcelona Faces Player Registration Crisis with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor

The club's financial struggles and LaLiga regulations leave two key players sidelined as legal battles continue.

  • Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, Barcelona's summer signings, are unable to play after LaLiga revoked their registrations due to financial fair play violations.
  • Barcelona missed a December 31 deadline to prove compliance with wage cap rules, citing delayed revenue from a stadium investment deal.
  • The club has appealed to Spain's Administrative Sports Court (CSD) for a temporary measure to allow the players to compete while awaiting a final ruling.
  • Raphinha, a Barcelona forward, expressed concerns that the situation could deter future player signings, though manager Hansi Flick remains optimistic about the club's reputation.
  • Barcelona is set to play Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal without Olmo and Víctor, as doubts over their availability persist.
